OUR CONSTITUTION.

The kingdom of Hawaii has a
constitutional written constitution
and is supposed to be governed
by constitutional government.
But the government is never troubled
with over-nice conscientious scrup-
les about keeping within convtitu-
tional boundaries. If the constitu-
ton seems to favor the government
wish, why then the constitution is
quoted and lauded and followed
with great sound of exultant
voices. When the constitution
seems to be OH the other side of the
question, the constitution is ignored,
or politely requested to take back
seat, or unceremoniously sent
straight to the dogs. 1t is only
when the constitution is Gin accord"
that it can be admitted into the
counsel chamber. When in opposi-
ton, it has to stand out side the
door, in the halfway, until the
business is over. Perhaps the gov
ernment is unable to understand the
constitution, or succeed in under
standing it in peculiar way, and
hence this irrevent treatment. No
wonder if such is the case; for our
constitution is, unfortunately, n
poorly constructed document, leav-
ing out some things that ought to be
in, and taking in some things
that ought to be out. Its
English is of the kind that
is given to school boys as "bad
grammar to be corrected" Its in
tention may be good-the very best.
But the sheet anchor of people
rights and liberties should be made
of better metal than the best of in

definite, in some ambiguous, and in
others contradictory, perhaps. Talk

the pRlSON-GELL PUZZLE.

A correspondent recently sent us
the following piece of reprint, which
he believes to be the correct answer
to the prison-cclI puzzle. We would
inform him, however, that he Is
mistaken. The key to the puzzle is
found in the 'cording of the problem.
The prisoner is supposed TO be con-
lined IN cell No. l, and is required
to enter every cell. The entering
process commences subsequent to the
incarceration, and therefore the first
cell has not been onterea until he
returns to it. Following is the
answer above referred to, which is
here reproduced by special request:
During the past two weeks the
Query Department has been over
whelmed with solutions Of the great
prison-cell puzzle, not one of which
complies with its conditions. Nearly
every one of these correspondents
says, in 50 many words: 81 have
done it; here it is" and incloses q
diagram showing how he has done
it, or rather that he has not done it
at all. The same way to get around
the obstacle in the way of solution
seems to have struck them all, and
they have uniformly stolen slight
but very vital departure from the
terms, and cajoled themselves into Il
belief that they have achieved a
triumph. The proposition is that II
prisoner is placed in the corner cell
of prison containing six rooms, of
six cells each. Every cell opens into
all the other cells adjoining it, by a
door in the center of the partition
wall. There are no other passages.
The exit from the prison is from the
cell at the extreme corner, diagon-
ally across from the prisoners. He
is offered his freedom on condition
that he passes through all the other
cells, and enters no one more than
once. 1t is hut the revival of an
old thing with which, some years
ago, a fun-loving individual, through
the medium of an Eastern journal,
set the puzzle-working portion OF
the community acraze over an i'm
possibility. If there were any odd
number of rows-though it might be
five one way and seven or nine, OF
any other odd lumber, the other
there would be no difficulty in going
out; but in prison constructed will
an even number of rows both way:
say eight, six, four or two only
the thing is impossible. A person
sentenced to life Imprisonment il
such building could safely b'
offered his liberty Oh the terms giveI
in the puzzle. He would serve on
his term.

A READABLE PROGRAMME.

Whoever had the responsibility Of
the printing for last nights enter
tainment at the Opera House, is to
be commended for having furnished
the audience with a readable pro-
gramme. This being an exception
to the general rule, is noticeable.
The programmes usually provided
in that place of amusement are
scarcely better than none at all, to
persons in the back part Of the hall,
because of their being printed in
type so fine that they cannot be
read unless in a good light. The
fault is generally not the printers,
but the persons giving the order,
who. in nine cases out of ten, insists
upon the use of fine face and unread
able type. The person ordering
last nights programmes, either Sc
lected readable type or left it to the
choice of the printer, who had the
common sense to choose wisely. 1t
was easily dccipherable in all parts
of the house. Let us hope that the
commendablc example will be in
variably followed in future. A
printed programme is for the bene-
fit of the audience but il the audi
ence cannot read it, what benefit is
it? None whatever. Better save
the money.

speak with me, and he astonished me
by replying: That is just what it is.
1t is frequently the case that we have
ladies' come here whose front teeth are
so badly injured that filling them with
gold produces adisagreeable appearance.

not long since. A wealthy California
gentleman brought to me his daughter
to have her teeth examined. One Of
her upper front teeth Ind the peculiar
formation of pearl. The pearl was
not complete but was sufficiently de-
fined and distinct so that there could be
no mistake about it. The companion
tooth was badly decayed and her father
desired to have diamond set in it.

Reports received at Charleston, s. O.,
scom the immediate rice fields of the
South Santee indicate that the damage is
not general. High tides have prevented
the freshets from covering the large plan
tations of the southern district along the
river, and the greater part of the crop is
considered safe. On the North Santee
colored planters on small farms have suf-
fered disastrously, their crops being re-
ported as totally destroyed.

As she prayed and wept an angel

whispered:
"Heaven has sent me in answer to
